Mens Longines With Small Womens Movements? (added photos)

What about these men's models that feature the small ladies movements such as seen in this Ebay auction?

I used to have an Omega mens watch in a stainless steel case that dated to World War II before I gave it to a friend of mine who collects watches. It had a 31mm diameter case and featured a small rectangular 15-jewel movement as well. He took it to a watchmaker in Yorkshire where he lives who said the movement was fairly uncommon.

I picked up a smart looking Longines 14kt yellow gold mens watch some time ago, very understated with the Breguet numerals that I love on a silver (butler?) dial. It's an elegant looking 33 mm dress watch, but features a small rectangular movement similar to the above auction watch.

I had it serviced and was told it dated to 1962 and was original. Don't have time to photograph this Longines watch for a few days but perhaps I can remember to resurrect this thread at stick up a photo or two.

It sorta reminds me of a 60s American muscle car that is equipped with the entry level inline 6-cylinder engine.

Were these Longines with small rectangular movements some lower-priced model within the line?

Found in an image search, inputing Longines Diamond Dynasty.

Thanks for the reply! If I had decent lighting around here this evening I'd shoot a few photos of this Longines. I'll have to wait until first of the week so as to photograph the watch outside.

Wish I was more adept at case back removal. I'm reluctant to remove even the simplest snap backs for photographic efforts.

That's a whole different question for the Forum later. How to properly remove most case backs. Don't have proper wrenches for those requiring a fitted wrench and only a pocketknife blade for removal of snap backs. I've learned that is sometimes an iffy proposition and I'm concerned with messing up a case. A old dial caliper set and locked to fit the slots in a case back can unscrew backs with care but I am reluctant to make a habit of that method for case back removal.

Thanks for the advice. I don't stray as far into watch disassembly as I've always been wont to do with firearms in the collection.

I finally remembered to snap a few photos of the Longines watch mentioned in this thread's original post. It's a caliber 370 just as ulackfocus mentions earlier and its serial number is 12017014 which indicates an approximate year of manufacture of 1962.







Back when it was acquired I had thought to perhaps have the dial redone in order to lose the scratches and pecks in the sub-second hand area however these appear much more noticeable in photographs than they do when actually seeing the watch. Besides, once one joins the Forum he learns that he refinishes dials at his peril. Had it serviced back in February and haven't really worn it much until last few days.
